overdue

My three geese are all sitting on a nest of about 14. They have been sitting a long time. I didn’t write down the exact date they started sitting, but it feels like too long. So today, I went and took one egg to candle it. It’s hard to see very much detail bc the shell is so thick, but it looked...

Pregnant doe had a weird episode and is now overdue. It's a long read but any help would be appreciated. I currently have a doe who has had 1 previous litter that went normally, kindled on day 31 with no complications, 5 kits. After breeding her again this time everything was normal up until...

How long will a hen set if her eggs don't hatch? Will they break the "trance" and get off the nest? I don't think any of her eggs are viable any more according to my count she's overdue? What should I do?
